Ingredients

For the chicken:

1 ripe mango, peeled, pip and skin discarded
2 red chilis, deseeded and stalks discarded
¼ cup (60ml) lime juice
2 Tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
½ cup (125ml) coriander
1 Tbsp (15ml) olive oil
1 x pack drumsticks

For the salad:

1 mango
½ red onion, finely chopped
10g mint
30g rocket
Juice & zest of 1 lime

Method

Chicken:

Prepare the chicken: Place the mango, chilli, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, coriander and olive oil into a blender. Blend until smooth, then pour into a bowl with the chicken.
Toss until well combined and place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Heat the grill to a medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces until nicely charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

For the salad:

Cube the mango and mix with the finely chopped onion, mint and rocket. Add the juice and zest of a lime and toss well.
Serve the fresh salad with the warm chicken.
